Belgian Defense Minister calls israelis “cowards”
Not only that - he wants them to PAY for their crimes!
Belgium's Defense Minister said last week that he would act to extract payment from Israel for the removal of cluster bomb fragments that the Israel Defense Forces fired into Lebanese territory during the Second Lebanon War.During a meeting with representatives of Medical Aid for the Third World (MATW), an international medical organization, Defense Minister Andre Flahaut said the weapon was "the resort of cowards and a violation of international law."
Oooouch! - He better stay away from small planes!
The organization's coordinator, Dr. Bert De Belder, told Haaretz that Flahaut was receptive to the idea that Israel should be regarded as a polluter, and be made to pay for the removal of the pollution so far estimated at $13 million.
According to De Belder, Flahaut said he will recommend to Prime Minister Verhofstadt to adopt the principle.
Flahaut, scheduled to visit Lebanon this week, informed De Belder that he intended to advise the Lebanese government to support making Israel financially accountable. De Belder and the other members of the MATW delegation presented Flahaut with a petition signed by 3,415 Belgian supporters, including 13 MPs from various political factions.
The MATW did not address the issue of how the funds would be collected from Israel.
I can guarantee it won't be voluntarily!
"We left that up to the Belgian government, as the removal is performed at its expense by the Belgian contingent to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon," De Belder said.
He acknowledged that his organization dealt mainly with humanitarian aid and not with international law, adding that it was also "dedicated to international justice." He also said: "Our petition was reviewed by attorney Selma Ben Khelifa, who specializes in human rights".
De Belder added he had not seen "a shred of evidence" that Hezbollah also fired cluster bombs into Israel. Human Rights Watch announced last October that it found 113 such instances.
Yeah, well, HRW has been known to propagate the absurd every once in a while.
Israel should be held accountable for the holocaust it has committed against the Palestinians, Lebanese and exaction of billions of Euros from European nations which it has spent on it's war machinery.
Israel should be charged with crimes against humanity and it's war mongering leaders, it's European supporters such as B-Liar, Merkel, Joshka Fischer, and organisations that have been backing this rogue regime, should be brought to trial in a Nürenberg style court, except that this court should be made up of the victims of Israeli aggression.
"Zionism was willing to sacrifice the whole of
European Jewry for a Zionist State. Everything was done to
create a state of Israel and that was only possible through a
world war. Wall Street and Jewish large bankers aided the war
effort on both sides. Zionists are also to blame for provoking
the growing hatred for Jews in 1988."
(Joseph Burg, The Toronto Star, March 31, 1988).

"The world Zionist movement is big business. In the
first two decades after Israel's precarious birth in 1948 it
channeled an estimated four billion dollars in donations into
the country. Following the 1967 Arab/Israeli war, the Zionists
raised another $730 million in just two years. This year, 1970,
the movement is seeking five hundred million dollars. Gottlieb
Hammar, chief Zionist money raiser, said, 'When the blood flows,
the money flows.'"

Belgium is the only western country to ban the use of cluster bombs. The Belgian military refuses to stock them or use them.
Whenever Belgium brings up this issue, Israel and its servants (the UK and USA) instantly move to checkmate it.
Hence, Mr. Flahaut's comments regarding cowardice are directed at Israel's servants, not just Israel.
As for HRW, last year they issued a report that was harshly critical of the MEK cult, which Israel uses to harass Iran. The Zionist backlash was so fierce that HRW not only backed down, but became quasi-Zionist in order to keep getting funds. Hence their October 2006 claim that Hezbollah used cluster bombs. Hezbollah put some nails in a small percentage of the Katyusha rocket warheads, but that was a long way from advanced cluster bombs, which Israel used to carpet Lebanon, and which are still killing people.
HRW is based in New York City. Amnesty International, their British equivalent, has also bcome quasi-Zionist. In the past these groups commented on Palestine, but now their work focuses on things like feminist rights in small African countries.
Both groups are now a joke.
The Belgians are not the only Western government to have banned the use of cluster weaponry. Austria, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand and Sweden also have such a ban, and are campaigning to make the prohibition international.
Of course they are. It's genetic.

Should Israel be forced to pay this debt (don't hold your breath), they'll just extract the money from US taxpayers, as usual.
Actually I've never meet a "brave" so-called Ashkenazi Jew in my personal life. I've known a few, they always use subversion and black tactics to achieve victory, never up front man-to man confrontation with equal power on both sides.
It very well may be a genetic trait, this yellow spine they all seem to inherit.
